I could read at the age of 3, but at the time I was reading simple little kid's books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I remember being sent to primary school a year early (I'd just turned 4) because I could read and write and there wasn't much point in having me wait until I turned 5 (according to my mother, my preschool teacher claimed that keeping me in preschool for another year would have done more harm than good). I think I started reading stuff like Goosebumps at the age of 4 or 5.
